Taufatofua competed in the Rio Olympics in taekwondo. He was quickly defeated, but gained immense publicity for himself and Tonga by leading his fellow competitors into the arena covered in coconut oil.
Now he has decided to switch sporting careers and has been battling uphill to make his dream of competing in South Korea a reality.
He started skiing a year ago on roller skis, managed to raise $10,000 to fund his attempt and has been competing on borrowed skis.
